"We have." Lana slid her own gun out from the pocket it was tucked into -- it visibly did have a safety; if it hadn't, keeping it in a coat pocket would have been extremely foolish. She slipped past him and stepped onto the escalator, which began moving immediately.
There were two reasons for the quiet that sprang to mind. One -- Landel was confident in his security beyond this point, that letting them through was no concern. Two -- that whatever was going on had rattled him, and they might never have a better chance than right now to push onwards. Either Ryuuzaki was thinking the same thing, or he'd been hit with some sort of effect that robbed him of his critical thinking, so she didn't bother saying it aloud.
Instead, she covered him as they went up, and pressed him for information. "Do you know anything beyond what was on those notes? I'd prefer not to walk into a known trap or cast about at random." If there's another option. There were times that all you could do was press and press and press, and see what turned up. In law and in life.
